Keep a roof over Sebastião's head in Vitória da Conquista
The loss of a second income left Sebastião short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 4 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $790
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $280
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Sebastião. Looking forward to the next update. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Good luck, Sebastião. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
